Diagnosis.
The facies is a rather washed out grey and pale orange with some similarity in the extent of the latter to the more conspicuous, well-defined markings of nummularia, except they do not extend obliquely across the centre of the forewing, and there is an additional pale orange area at the forewing tornus.

Geographical range. S. Burma, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo.

Habitat preference. The only Bornean specimen is from the lowlands near Pontianak in Kalimantan.
